While the gel version of this is moderately light and very clean in finish, this lotion is more like a cream considering that it can thin out a foundation finish and leave one a bit oily by mid day. I found this formula heavier and thicker so it already made my sensitive skin uncomfortable as it felt suffocated as a thin application was smoothed on. The day few days, I noticed little bumps on my skin surfacing due to irritation so I abruptly stopped using this and decided to bid it farewell. My sister on the other hand had found it a miracle worker to her eczema prone dry skin so it will definitely benefit her more than it did to me and found that the moisture lasted her longer than her current moisturizer. I gave this a fair rating for both our experiences so a six would be adequate with a reminder that blemish prone, sensitive skin should be avoiding this item. May 5, 2008, 4:52 am

When I started using this lotion, I had extreme dry skin that was peeling from allegic reactions caused by the previous line of products. This one got to work instantly. Within a week all the dryness had disappeared and skin felt soft. I have to admit, after buying the for the first time, I never had to buy it again because I keep getting it with the seasonal GWP. Only thing is that you have to use the three step system twice every day very religiously to start seeing the effects. I agree with the previous reviewer who mentioned the oily feel it leaves behind, but that disappears after putting the powder/makeup. December 27, 2007, 7:34 am

There is a bottle of this in every household in America I would bet. It's always in the GWPs that I get. I use it as body lotion because I think it is too greasy for my face. It also reminds me of my stepmonster but I digress....
Great body lotion but for oilier skins I wouldn't suggest it. I would like to try the gel version of this some time as I hear good things about it. November 12, 2007, 4:10 pm

I had a really hard time finding a facial moisturizer that didn't make me break out, or leave my skin oily or shiny after a few hours. This lotion is super light, and just a tiny bit is enough to take away the dry feeling on my skin. It's never caused me to break out. The pump puts out just the right amount. Very good value for money (very little waste). Also, if you time it right, buy it and get the Clinique bonus for free! Even better value! May 22, 2008, 1:55 pm

this lotion works great on my skin. took away my sunburned flakes the very next day. i have very dry skin, but this is a great moisturizer. i almost feel like i might be oily skinned now. lol. but i wish it had spf. however, i just mix a bit of sunblock with it and i'm good to go. im not always out in the sun so spf isn't a big thing, but summer is here so i gotta look out for that. :) this product works magics though.

This is the best lotion ever!!! No other can compare to this beautifully crafted product. It is great for any type of skin. This does make your skin soft and hydrated after continued use. Also it is just perfect for people who have combination skin since it doesn't make your skin oily or overly dry. In addition it enhances the over all appearance of your skin tone but you still need to put on sunblock over this since it doesn't have any SPF. April 30, 2008, 3:35 pm

I recently purchased a 3-step set for combination skin and was disappointed to find the lotion included instead of the gel. I have tried the lotion in the past only to be disappointed by the heavy, greasy feel it left. It never seems to absorb either. The grease just seems to worsen as the day goes on and clog pores. If you have even mildly oily or sensitive skin, I would steer clear of this lotion. February 11, 2008, 11:38 am

I agree with the rater who feels it isnt enough for dry skin, especially in winter. I love this lotion, it sinks right in, the fragrance is unobtrusive, this doesnt irritate my VERY sensitive skin, it really is an excellent moisturizer. But I am begging Clinique to develop this in a cream formula to accomodate us dry-skinned girls. They did it in gel formula for the oily-skinned! C'mon! December 27, 2007, 9:02 am

This was one of my original Clinique favorites, and still is. It works well for my combination skin--doesn't cause acne but hydrates enough to not look like a snake shedding skin. Not moisturizing enough for a night cream, but my favorite for during the day. Also, I like that it *doesn't* have any SPF. I really don't need sunscreen in every last cosmetic.

This is the perfect, no thrills lotion. I use the whole three-step system and love how light but effective DDML is. I use it all year. It's not even too heavy for the summer, but it still hydrates my skin the winter. I follow up with the city block sheer spf lotion and the combination is perfect!! Only complaint is that it doesn't have an spf value of its own (but honestly, I love the city block stuff so much that I'd probably use it too, anyway :) December 1, 2007, 10:38 am
